The COMMUNITY-MUSIC list was formed to promote the discussion of issues relating to community bands and orchestras. The majority of these ensembles are volunteer groups where musicians perform out of the sheer enjoyment of making music, although there are some exceptions. Among the topics which may be discussed are locating (or creating) an ensemble in your area, selecting music, retaining key musicians (and dealing with substandard ones), finding a good conductor, raising funds, announcing upcoming concerts, and more. The Web page contains the FAQ for the group and other community music-related links and information.
